Explanation

Procedural languages are also known as third-generation languages (3GLs).

Examples of third-generation languages include C, C++, Java, FORTRAN, and PASCAL.

Explanation

Grace Hopper is credited with inventing the first compiler, which she called A-0, in 1952.

Hopper's A-0 compiler was operational on the Univac computer.

Explanation

BASIC (Beginner's All-Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a high-level programming language designed for beginners to learn programming easily.

It was developed in the 1960s to make computer programming accessible to non-experts.

Explanation

In computer science, the levels of representation are typically shown from high-level to low-level as:

• High-level: Software (e.g., C++, COBOL, JAVA)
• Low-level: Hardware (e.g., machine code, assembly language)

Explanation

Algorithm and Flowchart are tools used to:

• Define a problem
• Break it down into smaller steps
• Logically organize those steps
• Visually represent the process

They help to:

• Specify the problem completely and clearly
• Identify the steps needed to solve the problem
• Understand the logical flow of the solution
• Communicate the solution to others

Explanation

"The government has embarked on the implementation of the 20-point program vigorously."

Explanation:

The word "on" is used when something is started or initiated towards a particular activity.

Explanation

What is the difference among application, program and software?

Application: A specific software designed to perform a particular task, like word processing or browsing the internet.

Program: A set of instructions written to execute a particular task or solve a problem, which can be part of an application or software.

Software: A broad term that refers to any collection of programs or applications that perform various tasks on a computer system.

Explanation

High-level languages (e.g., Python, Java, C++)

They are machine-independent because they are designed to run on different hardware with minimal modifications.

James Gosling is well known as the father of Java. 2.

The first version of Java was released on 23 May 1995

Explanation

A compiler translates high-level programming language (like C or Java) into low-level machine code.

It allowing the program to be executed by a computer's processor.

Explanation

Computers primarily use binary language.

It consisting of 0s and 1s, to process and execute commands.
